Hey! Spent all day (technically night) fixing delayed feeds on mastodon.social and mastodon.online, both are back to normal now, I had to add more capacity. There's just so much more activity during peak hours, even with closed registrations! #devops

Give Up #GitHub - Software Freedom Conservancy

https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/

Give Up GitHub!

On Wednesday 29 June 2022, we began calling on all FOSS developers to give up on GitHub.

I fully endorse this campaign. Some of us maintain a public #Gitlab instance for many years at https://git.fosscommunity.in #git

Give Up GitHub - Software Freedom Conservancy

The Software Freedom Conservancy provides a non-profit home and services to Free, Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects.

programming languages were a mistake.

build ninja: which Python version is required? · Issue #1556 · ninja-build/ninja

It would be nice to specify which version works in HACKING.md. Either Python2.7 or Python3, or both.

Every once in a while a hardware maker comes out with a "developer focused" laptop but somehow it's never literally just a ten-year-old Thinkpad.
